Weather Control

[Guitar_Guy]

About a year ago I heard from a friend that an ex-military (the "ex-" is recent) friend of his knew a bit about a military operation (I forgot the name) where they were seeking to alter the weather. Considering magnetism, etc, I think in the near future it could be possible. Humans barely tapped the power of the atom, and we see what happened. Imagine if we figured out how to tap the weather for warfare. >.<

In fact they are already changing the weather in Japan currently the technology works but in very small areas, in the future I can see entire cities in which the weather is man made.

Just imagine if this was used in warfare situations, though. They could blind aircraft with fog and slow infantry with rain. It's insane!

Indeed, or for better worldwide uses such as perfect weather all year round Or even inventing new weather conditions that never existed on earth before.


" Someday the U.S. military could drive a trailer to a spot just beyond insurgent fighting and, within minutes, reconfigure part of the atmosphere, blocking an enemy’s ability to receive satellite signals, even as U.S. troops are able to see into the area with radar.

“This scenario may not be far away,” says Defense Tech pal Sharon Weinberger in this month’s edition of the always-excellent Defense Technology International.

An engineer with Research Support Instruments in Princeton, N.J. recently completed the first phase of work for a U.S. Air Force sponsored project called Microwave Ionosphere Reconfiguration Ground based Emitter, or Mirage. (scroll down)
The work involves using plasma an ionized gas to reconfigure the ionosphere. Mirage would employ a microwave transmitter on the ground and a small rocket that shoots chaff into the air to produce about a liter of plasma at 60–100 km. (36– 60 mi.) in altitude, changing the number of electrons in a select area of the ionosphere to create a virtual barrier. Ionosphere reconfiguration offers two major applications of interest to the military: bouncing radars off the ionosphere, also known as over-the-horizon radar, and the ability to jam signals from the Global Positioning Satellite system, according to John Kline, the lead investigator for Mirage.
This work is only the latest effort in Kline’s more extensive investigations of atmospheric plasmas Before Mirage, Kline had another contract for a project called Plasma Point Defense, which explored the possibility of using a plasma weapon on board a U.S. Navy surface vessel to protect against threats ranging from surface-to-surface missiles to mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.

In the past, NASA’s fringe science arm has looked into tweaking Mother Nature, to throw hurricanes off their course. But those were just computer simulations. No one actually tried to go out a build some weather control machine."

Perfect weather wouldn't be that perfect. I mean, bad weather helps you appreciate the good. I'm not saying we couldn't alter out the extreme weather conditions, but I don't think 70 degrees with a slight breeze and a low humidity count would be ideal perennially.

[Ari]

True, but in cities that currently have terrible weather could have a lot better days.

[Guitar_Guy]

Yes, it could definitely help in a nonviolent way.

Not really, the Earth has formed itself to have certain cycles in certain areas, if we change those cycles it could have a massive effect on wildlife (even in the cities) and areas surrounding which in turn would cause a global change of the way it is suppose to be.

[Ari]

Possibly, only one way to find out for sure though.

I seem to recall reading that Russia seeded clouds over Belarus after the Chernobyl disaster to remove radioactive particles from clouds heading toward Moscow. The French have done it too, as have China.
